Intel IT has developed a quantitative model to assist with server sizing by analyzing the effects of various factors on the utilization of the primary server resources: compute, memory, and I/O. The model is based on the Intel IT approach to sizing servers for our ERP environment. Our analysis shows that four-socket servers, which provide greater headroom than two-socket servers, may be preferable in a number of situations.
By reading this whitepaper, you will learn how Intel IT:
- Implemented a decentralized ERP approach that offers several advantages, including lower server acquisition costs and increased flexibility and agility.
- Looked at various factors to determine our ERP platform selection and sizing decisions, including workload growth projections, maximum utilization target, the size of workload spikes, and the capacity of two-socket and four-socket servers.
- Developed a quantitative model that assists with server platform selection and sizing by enabling us to analyze the effects of these factors on platform utilization.
